Where Jaunceys are most common

Historical parish links are strongest around Edmonton, Marcle, Much, Worcester St John Bedwardine, Kenswick, London parishes and Stretton Grandison, Yarkhill, Ashperton, Munsley, Putley, Woolhope, Upton Bishop, Weston Beggard, St. These are the places where the surname stands out most clearly in the older records.

The modern local-area list points to Worcester, Walsall, Drumchapel North and Drumry East. Treat these as concentration signals, not proof that every family line began there.

Some modern areas include a three-digit suffix, such as Leeds 110. The suffix is a small-area code, so it stays in the table while the prose uses the plain place name.

Neighbourhood profile for Jauncey

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Jauncey, this points to the kinds of places where the surname is most concentrated today.

The UK classification gives the national picture. The London classification is more specific to the capital, where housing, age profile, tenure and population mix can look quite different from the rest of the UK.
